I am merging several smaller docs into one large doc.
The small docs will become chapters in the new doc. The small docs use figures with the following formatting: Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, etc. I want to automatically change the figure formats to the following numbering Fig 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, etc., based on the chapter numbers. When I try to do this I get the following result: Figure 1 in chapter 2 becomes Fig 0.1, fig 2 becomes Fig 0.2, Fig 3 becomes Fig 0.3, even though the chapters are numbered automatically and correctly with the Styles function. I want Fig 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, etc. Help! |

Hi Michelle,
To the best of my knowledge, MsWord doesn't support what you want to do. Adobe FrameMaker does this, but sadly Word does not. |

Did you use Word's built-in heading styles (heading 1 for chapter 1, etc.)?
Are your headings in text boxes? Michelle wrote: I am merging several smaller docs into one large doc. The small docs will become chapters in the new doc.

My heading styles are based on word's built in versions, by modified for
font, size, spacing etc. My headings are not in text boxes. "Pamelia Caswell via OfficeKB.com" wrote: Did you use Word's built-in heading styles (heading 1 for chapter 1, etc.)?

Captions that include the numbering from Heading 1 make use of STYLEREF fields which extract the numbering of the preceding Heading 1 paragraph in the text. Make sure that you haven't added a blank paragraph styled as a heading with its numbering suppressed; with such a paragraph present, the STYLEREF field would display a zero. Generally, avoid blank paragraphs and use Spacing Before/After instead. If you insist on blank paragraphs, make sure to apply Normal style to them. To quickly apply Normal style to a paragraph, place the insertion point in that paragraph and press Ctrl+Shift+N. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Michelle" wrote in message ...
